World Design:

• On Contraband, I was responsible for building a seamless open-world experience inside Avalanche’s proprietary Apex engine. My work combined worldbuilding, gameplay design, and technical implementation to ensure both the creative vision and systemic needs were met.

​

• Collaborated closely with environment art, mission design, and tech teams to ensure a cohesive open-world and smooth integration across disciplines.

​

• I worked extensively with Apex’s terrain, road, and water tools to shape large sections of the world, with a focus on the needs of the mission locations, gameplay flow, road network , and overall performance.​

​

• ​Designed and implemented mission content, from initial concept to final integration, ensuring it aligned with player experience and overall world design.​​​​

• I developed the game’s road network, ensuring it delivered a butter-smooth driving and combat experience, while also supporting systems such as AI convoys, player navigation, and the world sim.

​

• To make driving fun and dynamic, I placed shortcuts, cinematic jumps, destructible roadside objects and enemy ambushers.

​​

• I designed and implemented a variety of side content and activities:

  • Challenge dungeons with a focus on traversal, destruction, and puzzlely gameplay.

  • Large-scale destruction derbies leveraging systemic chaos.

  • Races across different biomes.
